There Are Pictures of Me On the Internet - Burnt By The Sun

I want this song to be about something else

I want to look elsewhere.

Focus.

I missed it

But I have yet to take my eyes off the shadow I mistook for you

Illusions create confusion fused with

Feelings that I’m losing to resentment

When yesterday’s nightmare seems like a

Miracle its time to go down below the decks to avoid the rain

Bury myself inside and wonder why you keep coming up short

But there’s always one hand left that’s cleaner than the one that’s soiled

One washes the other and so it slips away

Disappointment fades, I disengage from the standards that

I’ve made so hard to reach.

But do I even have a clue?

Yeah, thanks for the fuck.

Nothing in a physical sense

A mental captivation, a true exercise of imagination

It takes every bit of my strength to say no but

I’m taking every step I can to learn to grow

Inspiration yielding contemplation

Fulfill my dreams by tearing out the seams though

I know it’s not what it seems to be

Open eyes and toleration.

Self-reflection

Open to rejection, apply my own standards to myself

Rise stiff as a board
